I hope Emre Guler is a Molo replacement and we still have a game changer signing in the works.

I have no idea about this guy as I do not watch Canberra in depth. I cannot recall seeing a lot of him in first grade?

Can he bend the line and get offloads away?

Does he have mongrel?
Emre is a big body. I'd go as far as to argue that he has a higher ceiling than Molo. Has always tackled at above 90% efficiency throughout his entire career and is almost 6'4 so I'm sure with the right training could definitely bend the line and seems to have an offload in his game though not used often (statistically). Idk he could be a really good signing. A lot of players who fall out of favour with Ricky tend to blitz it at whatever club they move to.

Thank you. Let's see how he goes. I noticed he was part of the 2019 Raiders grand final team, so at least he’s got some solid experience. Now, time to address Molo’s situation—he needs to be released if he’s willing to agree to it, or go to another club if there’s interest (though he’s not exactly sharing that with us). He can’t just sit out his contract without us getting some form of compensation. How do we make that happen?

Refuses to train, breach notice, continues to stay away then terminate his contract

He’s been a raider for a long long time. I read a report that he approached them mid last season sniffing about for a release which was denied.

And in the broad, he had a seasonally adjusted quieter last year.

Unable to make it onto the park for half of their games in 2024 when the season before he’s just about first picked.

So I suppose hes feeling a bit on the outer.

And I think Ricky has to shake a few things up. He’s a pretty good coach, but we’ve all heard about the whispers about things getting a bit stale down there.

12 seasons of torture coaching the lime splices.

A good coach, yes, but Ricky is one petty bloke

Happy to give the guy a go, highlights show he runs hard & he's the right age 27 for a prop, had his taste of FG & now he can show what he can do, a big opportunity for him. I personally dont think Molo was worth the money for the minutes he turned out hopefully this guy has a bigger motor.
This is the type of signing that Flanno was hinting at when he left that one spot free. Players get feed back on their pre-season training and it may be that Emre was told that his efforts were not likely to get him in the top 17 any time soon. Whether that is good for us, time will tell. On paper a good signing and does anybody think that facially he resembles Paul Vaughan?

He’ll be a good addition to our pack. Big enough to bend the line and just the right age for a middle forward
